A simple, family-friendly skillet chicken dinner with crispy bacon, garlic, and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.

  6. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  8. Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens.
  9. Return chicken to the skillet and add cooked bacon. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Serve with your favorite pasta, rice, or a side salad.
